Epistane doesn't work !!

I'm on my 17th day at 30 mg per day and i feel nothing !
Actually the only things i'm having are : libido slightly up and a little of lethargy, that's all !!
I'm very angry and disapointed for it, because i bought 2 bottles for a 5 weeks cycle and it's a complete waste !

Epi takes about 3 weeks to feel. You are either lacking in the nutrition or sleep department. Or possibly a non responder. As far as headache/BP, get some Hawthorne berry or one of the many Cycle Assist supps out there(I like CEL Cycle Assist and Purus Organ Shield).

Thanks guys for your replies..
Yes, for bp i'm taking cycle support already and drinking lot of water..
I will up the dose to 40 next week..
Rest is ok, diet is slightly below maintenance because i'm after a recomposition.. Lot of proteins less carbs, and good fats..
Let see next days..
I heard bad reviews on IBE epistane last days..
:-(

Can you provide me with links to these reviews ???,,,IBE Epistane sells out everywhere very fast{Everyone knows this}...Sooo it's obviously a good product otherwise it would not keep selling out time and time again.

Remember when doing a recomp your calories are below maintenance so recovery and strength can still be an issue even with Epistane...The Epistanes main purpose during this phase is to help retain as much muscle tissue as possible, while stripping away unwanted bodyfat.

Anyway, this should be for a cut, for a recomposition epistane should help to add some muscle while losing some fat, otherwise recomposition doesn't make any sense..

30mg? Seems low to me, I thought epi was better up around the 50-60mg mark. 3rd week is definately where it kicks in tho.

Also up water intake to ease the headaches....

Agreed.

to the OP,
When epi first came out, a lot of people were afraid to run appropriate dosages and had lethargy at 20 and 30mg. The lethargy disappates at 40 and 50mg according to a lot of the IBE reps, and in my own experience.

Even though you said you're drinking a lot of water, I'd bet for sure that you're not taking in enough. Count the exact number of ounces of water per day. Your eyeballs should be floating at close to 2 gallons per day and your BP will be stay put.

Finally, I bet your strength is suffering from the lethargy. I personally see really good success with low dose caffeine on cycle. Now I wouldn't use ephedrine or yohimbe ON cycle, but like 100mg of caffeine is enough to combat lethargy without increasing BP for me. Others suggest adding DHEA ON cycle to address lethargy but I never had any results with that method.

Pick your goal...Very few people can add muscle while in a caloric deficit...Steroids or not. Epistane would help preserve the muscle you have while losing bodyfat...If you don't believe me there are tons of competitors that will tell you the same thing.

Your either getting lean...Or gaining tissue. Most of us with normal genetics can't do both at the same time.

So, you're saying recomposition doesn't exist ?
Because i read of lot of people gaining muscle while losing fat on the forums..
I'm not getting lean and i'm not gaining tissue..
Is something wrong whit me ?!
If i knew that epistane didn't help me for a recomposition like many people say they got, surely i wouldn't buy it !!

hey bro..when you cut you consume less than your maintenance cal's. with recomp/lean bulk you will be consuming slightly over your maintenance. if you're eating less than maintenance then don't expect much lean mass gain..as other mentioned..the ph will help you hang onto as much muscle as possible. i'd go with the recomp route..you can expect decent fat loss whilst putting on some muscle...best of both worlds. and yeah..your daily intake of epi is too little..you can afford to bump it up a bit.

Until now i've always heard for recomposition to keep calories slightly below maintenance, now you're saying to keep slightly above..
I think i'll follow your input mate, and also i upped the dose to 40 mg from now to all 4thy week.. let's see ( fingers crossed )

as mentioned earlier..your're going to have a tough time putting on muscle if you're eating under maintenance. what i find is effective for me it to eat slightly over maintenance and then make the caloric deficit through cardio. yeah give it a go..you wont be disappointed..dont wait till later..make the adjustments today and start making them gainzzzz!!

Starting with 30 or 40mg seems ok, but you have to ramp up the dosage each week to get the most out of it.

Everywhere, everyone says 40 mg should be the max for a first cycle..
Atm i'm running 40 mg per day.. today is day 22 and still feeling nothing..
Actually i'm losing strenght, it could be the hot weather and higher volume i'm working out, but that's what i should do when i'm on epi..
Same weight no leaner no bigger, less strenght just a good pump ( it can be also for higher volume )..
Very disapointed till now..

why not up the dosage? i am running 75mg's/ed now and i think i've hit a sweet spot...its finally kick in..i just started my 4th weel (out of 6wks).

I wish !!
Unfortunately i can't buy from USA, the only one time i tried ( many years ago ) the custom stopped my pack saying i needed a prescription from my doctor, after that i had to fill a form and pay a tax..
I sent it back..
You think it was only Animal pack and the problem was the vit c dosage ( here in Italy you can't buy a supplement where the vit c is higher than 180 mg )..
I lost only the shipping fees to send it back..
I'd like to buy Alpha t-2 too..

You would be losing strength because you're running a calorie deficit. Even when I'm eating around 3000 cals over maintenence during a PH cycle, I lean out, and feel like I need to eat non stop to keep my strength up. PH's like Epi will have a recomp effect even at a lowish dose (40mg), with the right diet in place, but it has to be surplus.

You're body is in an anabolic state atm, but you aren't feeding it enough to grow. Wasted Epi IMO

You got it !

You can't expect your body to grow if you're not feeding it anything for the Epistane to work with. It's not labeled as a "fat burner". Get your diet up to par and Epi at the right doses and you will see results.

You should have done more research before you started..

Have you ever tought to the possibility that Epistane just doesn't work ( at least this lot whit me ) ?
I have researched a lot before to start and most of the people says for a first cycle don't go over 40 mg per day.. even on the IBE website for an hardcore cycle the dosage is 40 mg per day, I'M at 50 mg per day and losing strenght when i didn't take EPISTANE and worser diet I WAS still gaining strenght..
If the Epistane worked, i should have any side, but the only side i had till now are a little better libido and from last night a little of pain on my nipple..
These are facts, and YOU should have read better before saying something..
One more thing, you're an IBE rep, thank you for erase my thread from your forum after i gave you the Lot # ..

I didn't erase anything. I have no idea what you're talking about.

I said you should have done more research mainly because of you diet, or lack thereof...

Sorry Epi didn't give you the results you desired.

No problem mate, it's not your fault.. Maybe Epistane doesn't work for me, or maybe is IBE epistane, anyway i have around 10 days left and i'm upping the calories a lot just to see what happens..
Epi at 50 mg.. LEt's see next days..

good luck bro..really hope it does something...i've got two more weeks left on my epi cycle and i have to admit that the gains have been less than stelar..decent strength gains..but size wise..nothing to write home about yet. i am hoping the remaining two weeks will add a bit more lean mass...

Today i upped the dose to 60 mg..
Review till now :
I think Epistane is a weak steroid, and need to be dosed around between 40 and 60 mg or higher ( depend on cycle's experience and sides )..
It needs higher calories to be efective so if you're after a cut or a recomposition i wouldn't waste the money and i would go at least for a lean bulk or a bulk ( but i think there are better ph or ds out there for these goals )
Sides till now :
Lost of strenght, yes sadly true :-( , small headaches ( just add water and hawthorn berry ) from yesterday light back pump, lethargy ! ( sometime bad ! )
I don't wanna insert the better libido on the sides ! ( very good week ends... )
Let's see the last 10 days at 60 mg

Well that's you experience with it...Many, many other people say otherwise and sup companies can't keep it stocked for very long because it always sells out. Maybe your next PS/DS cycle will treat you better...I personally love Epi and it's very very close to anavar, as far as strength gains with very little sides are concerned.

Epi is a pretty popular choice for many on a cut or recomp cycle actually (it retains muscle mass and strength even when calories are somewhat reduced but still above maintence). They just revamp their diet to high protein, high good fats, and a moderate daily complex carb intake.

Keep us updated on how your body reacts to a week at 60mg/day even if you still don't see a difference by the time the bottle is empty.

From reading tons of Epistane logs, I 've come to the conclusion that you really have to focus the most on your diet instead all of it on the way you train. Sure, you still have to lift very hard and get plenty of rest, but diet is what's really gonna take the PH to a whole different level.
